Nigerian Heart Foundation is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation founded in 1992 to promote Heart health, scientific research in cardiovascular health,
healthy lifestyles and advocacy on heart-related issues. The Nigerian Heart Foundation (NHF) Heart Check Food Labelling Programme supports national initiatives for healthier food choices,
through endorsement of positive Heart Check logo on healthier food products certified to be heart friendly.
The NHF Heart Check Food Labelling Program started in 1998 as a tripartite initiative between Nigerian Heart Foundation, National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC)
and the Food Industry promoting heart friendly food products through a rigorous scientific process.
Non-Communicable diseases (NCDs) – Heart disease, Cancer, Diabetes Mellitus, Sickle Cell Disease and chest diseases – are the greatest killer diseases of the 21st century.
But, heart disease is No 1 killer of the 5 main NCDs in Nigeria. As WHO focuses globally on the prevention of NCDs through healthy diets by means of – reformulation education and front-of-pack labelling; and the UN Secretary General’s progress report on the NCD prevention demands more action in particular in developing countries;
Nigerian Heart Foundation has been working assiduously over the last ten years with NAFDAC in the promotion of healthier heart-friendly food choices.
